I have a Edison Home model A that he a gear that is lose on the shaft. I will try and explain, looking upside down at the motor, there is a large gear coming off the spring, then a small gear which on the same shaft goes to a larger gear, that is shaft one, from there is goes to a tiny gear on the second shaft, this gear spins freely, what holds it tight to the shaft so it can drive the next big gear to the third shaft. Mine spins free so it can't turn the shaft. It is the fourth gear in the drive train. Other than that, the motor look fine. This one of many the my father gave me recently, I am wanting to get it restored ASAP as he is not very well and I want to show him I can carry on the hobby and make his happy.
The serial number is H48855 and idea of year of manufacture?
I also noticed something odd, when I removed the mandrel and the fine lead screw, on the mandrel shaft it has another small diameter fine lead screw, what goes on there ?
This is not a suit case model, it has the catches on the ends of the case, the oak bed plate frame is missing except for the hinged rail, it measures 15" long, not sure how wide if anyone can help with that. Does anyone have a bed plate frame in good condition for sale. It also has the scroll on the bottom case with red writing. I will also need some top side parts as well if anyone can help, will need to look at a parts list to see what I need.
Will post photos when I go inside to my other computer tonight.
Sorry for long post, but I am a very keen newbee with all the skills to make this machine sing again, with the help of this great forum.
